What do you think about putting pictures of guns on credit cards?

[Randy in Arizona]

Yes I read and enjoyed the other thread about charging guns on plastic, but it got me to thinking! (Danger, Will Robinson, DANGER!!!)

How about a company issuing credit cards with pictures of 'Evil Assault Rifles' or modern Black Polymer Pistols, or even Beltfed Machineguns?

I'm sure it would cause severe bunching of the panties to liberal salesclerks of both genders.

And then maybe we could get credit cards with pictures of rare beefsteak dinners, carved turkey platters and roast suckling pig to horrify the vegans and PETA types.

I'm supposed to care what leftist nitwits and sales clerks think?

The only negative I can see is that you are advertising you own guns. This exposes you to burglary intent to steal firearms. But I guess parking your car at the gun store does the same thing.

"I'm sorry sir, your card has been declined."

I would LOVE to have a CC with a M-16 or Glock picture on it. Beats the hell out of the other vanity pictures you have to choose from. Thunderstorm, kittens, horses, antique car, machine gun... hmmm...

Maybe a card with some of the "Cowboy Shooting" stuff..

A nice Marlin or Winny lever gun

A Vaquero or a Colt SAA

One of the short Coach Shotguns...with the big "Dog Ear" hammers

Why does a picture of a gun on a credit card label you as a gun owner? Many people who do not own firearms, but think they are "cool" seem to collect photos of them and such, or 24k gold lamps as one recent thread showed us. Now if it were a personalized photo of you holding an AK in your hands, it would be different.

It would make things interesting trying to buy tickets at the United counter..... but I'd bet you couldn't actually carry the credit card on the plane since even the toy G.I. Joe's have to leave their little plastic guns behind with the rocket scientists of TSA.

I know what I'd have on mine, however I haven't got one yet...

Isn't there an NRA card?

Just looked it up, here: http://www.nracreditcard.com/nra/cc/

There is a flintlock pistol sitting on the Bill of Rights, that'd be a goodie

I've written checks at the Whole Foods store and presented my CHL as the state-issued ID (it has my DL number on it). It's always funny to see the reaction of the check out people when they look back at me as the realization hits them that they just sold two bags of health food to someone packing a concealed sidearm.

I've also displayed the CHL as ID when boarding airplanes, but haven't gotten on a plane since 9/11, so I can't wait to see the reaction that it gets next time I fly.

Just remember the Three Rules

1. All credit hards can cause great damage.

2. Keep your hand off the swipe-thingie until you are ready to pay.

3. Always know what is behind your purchase-is it a neccesary enhancement, or just another doodad that will start gather dust in a week-before you commit yourself.
